Mika Vainio's Music for Kenneth Kvarnström's Hohto/Shine

Mika Vainio (Pan sonic) provides the music for choreographer/dancer Kenneth Kvarnström's latest work, Hohto/Shine, now running at Finnish National Ballet in Helsinki. Based on the compositions of the 17th century composer William Lawes, Vainio creates manipulations of the composer's music, both slowed down and running backwards, as Helsingin Sanomat writes on 2 March 2009.
